About us
Compass Group is a St. Louis-based private investment firm that partners with small-to-medium sized private companies that prioritize people, values, and results. The firm launched in 2014 to leverage the group’s experience as entrepreneurs, business owners, and executives to invest alongside owners and management teams of closely held businesses with a focus on long-term value creation. We offer the capital, operational expertise, and strategic guidance to support management teams in accelerating growth, exceeding historical performance and creating market leading businesses. Compass Group typically invests $10-$30 million in long-term capital to acquire control positions in privately held companies with revenues between $20-$100 million. We like niche markets with $100M potential that are highly fragmented with no clear leader or category disruption.
